Enhanced Online Banking Security Begins This Month

Keeping your online account information secure at all times is a priority at USE. That’s why we’re upgrading the security level of Online Banking beginning Tuesday, December 20, 2011. We’re adding a simple yet powerful new security feature that provides an additional line of defense against online fraud and identity theft.

New Login Security: How Does It Work?

Don’t worry. Our new security measures won’t slow you down during routine logins.  That’s because they’re only activated when you try to access your accounts from a computer we don’t recognize. Whenever we can’t authenticate your login attempt, we’ll send you a one-time access code via phone, text or email. Here’s how it works:

1. Complete a required, one-time set-up that takes under a minute.
2. During set-up, you’ll have the option of choosing a preferred
   way to receive an access code: phone, text message or email.
3. If you want even greater protection, select the check box in the
   section named “Enhanced Login Security” to require a passcode
   at all times from non-private computers.
4. Once you complete the set-up process, click the “Continue”
   button at the bottom of the page to access your accounts.
5. If you use multiple computers to access Online Banking, we’ll
   send you a one-time access code for each device upon your
   first login.
6. You’re done. Future logins on recognized devices only require
   your user name and password.

Mark Your Calendar

Remember, our new Login Security begins December 20^th. Your first login on or after that date will require a one-time set-up for each computer you want us to authenticate.  Validated computers will only require a user name and password on future visits.
